S with 17 neutrons and 16 protons has a mass number of 33 amu
Sulfur is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 32.
16 protons + 19 neutrons = 35 mass number
Each sulfur atom contains 16 protons; the mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, 47. (It is unlikely that such a heavy isotope of sulfur actually exists.)
41 = 25 + 16, the latter being the atomic number of sulfur.
Mass number of S = 32.1 Atomic number of S = 16 The most common isotope of sulfur is 32S (95.02%). Therefore there are 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons per atom of sulfur-32.
Sulfur is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 32.
16 protons + 19 neutrons = 35 mass number
Each sulfur atom contains 16 protons; the mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, 47. (It is unlikely that such a heavy isotope of sulfur actually exists.)
The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
Number of nucleons = number of protons + neutrons = 16 + 17 = 33 The mass number is thus 33 and the atom is denoted sulfur-33 or 33S.
41 = 25 + 16, the latter being the atomic number of sulfur.
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
Mass number of S = 32.1 Atomic number of S = 16 The most common isotope of sulfur is 32S (95.02%). Therefore there are 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons per atom of sulfur-32.
Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
No, neutrons + protons = mass
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
